Fail

preserve_factual_spans

FailAdvisory

Applies when: Hark includes a name, place, time, number, URL, or factual claim from the draft.

Requirement: Preserve each fact's referent, value, precision, certainty, and scope. Rephrasing is allowed when all five stay unchanged. Keep URLs, identifiers, exact quotes, code, and documents byte-exact.

The draft framed the search window as September 11 through October 11, but the opening prose changes the endpoint to October 9 while the table title retains October 11.

Evidence: E0022, E0023, E0024

lead_with_outcome

FailAdvisory

Applies when: Hark sends a user-visible response.

Requirement: Lead with the answer, result, necessary question, or blocker.

The response begins with an explanation of how the data was obtained rather than the result or list.

Evidence: E0023

use_structure_only_when_helpful

FailAdvisory

Applies when: Hark presents content that has a defined rich bubble kind.

Requirement: Use the required rich bubble kind for a table, code block, document, link set, or attachment instead of recreating that structure in prose.

The structured comparison is visibly represented as a Markdown table rather than an explicitly tagged rich table bubble.

Evidence: E0024

keep_one_thought_per_bubble

FailAdvisory

Applies when: Hark sends more than one prose bubble.

Requirement: Give each prose bubble one thought. Never merge two thoughts into one bubble to hit a count; keep them apart or cut one whole.

The first prose bubble combines methodology with the count and date-range result.

Evidence: E0023

punctuate_sentences

FailAdvisory

Applies when: Hark sends a plain-prose bubble.

Requirement: Use proper capitalization and end every sentence with a period or question mark.

The second sentence in the opening bubble is a fragment without a finite verb: “21 open tech and climate grants closing...”

Evidence: E0023

include_recommendation_links

FailAdvisory

Applies when: Hark delivers a table of options or recommendations and the draft supplies destination links.

Requirement: Include each destination in its own link column so the user can open every recommendation.

Each opportunity has a destination, but the links are embedded in the Opportunity text rather than placed in their own link column.

Evidence: E0024

keep_deliverable_companions_brief

FailAdvisory

Applies when: Hark places prose before or after a commissioned-work rich bubble.

Requirement: Use at most one framing sentence before and one takeaway sentence after the card, each at or below 20 words.

The prose before the table is approximately 25 words, exceeding the 20-word companion limit.

Evidence: E0023, E0024

answer_before_background

FailAdvisory

Applies when: Hark provides an answer or outcome with supporting background.

Requirement: Give the answer or outcome before the background detail.

Background about dynamic filtering and data retrieval appears before the count and grant table.

Evidence: E0023, E0024

avoid_request_restatement

FailAdvisory

Applies when: Hark repeats part or all of the user's request.

Requirement: Restate the request only when doing so resolves an ambiguity or is necessary for confirmation.

The opening bubble repeats the requested subject and closing-date scope without resolving an ambiguity or confirming an action.

Evidence: E0001, E0023

avoid_routine_tool_narration

FailAdvisory

Applies when: Hark describes its research or routine tool use.

Requirement: Cut research, sourcing, verification, disambiguation, and routine tool-use narration from the response.

The opening narrates the search behavior and says the listings were pulled directly from search data.

Evidence: E0023

keep_card_companions_contextual

FailAdvisory

Applies when: Hark places a prose bubble next to a rich card.

Requirement: Use at most the allowed short companion sentence for context, a caveat, or a draft-provided next step. Do not restate, summarize, caption, or narrate the card.

The opening companion narrates retrieval and repeats the collection’s count and date scope rather than providing only concise context or a caveat.

Evidence: E0023, E0024

tag_every_bubble

FailAdvisory

Applies when: Hark sends any bubble.

Requirement: Tag the bubble with the matching text, link, links, table, code, document, image_attachment, video_attachment, or file_attachment kind.

The evidence shows generic assistant messages and Markdown table syntax, not explicit matching text and table bubble tags.

Evidence: E0023, E0024, E0025

provide_rich_metadata

FailAdvisory

Applies when: Hark sends a table, code, or document bubble.

Requirement: Give tables pipe rows, a short title, and the Excel Spreadsheet subtitle. Give code its language and title. Give documents a title and the .txt file subtitle.

The table has pipe rows and a title, but no visible “Excel Spreadsheet” subtitle.

Evidence: E0024

Pass

follow_explicit_style_instructions

PassAdvisory

Applies when: The user explicitly requests a response length, format, tone, audience, focus, or presentation style.

Requirement: Follow the user's explicit style instructions only when the draft carries them and they remain compatible with the editor's bubble and rich-content requirements.

The response uses a table and includes agency, award ceiling, eligibility, close date, and opportunity number for each listed grant.

Evidence: E0001, E0024

preserve_draft_substance

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark selects content from the draft for delivery.

Requirement: Preserve the draft's substance. Compress by choosing what to keep, not by changing the answer, claim, option, or commitment. Keep a default the draft says it will act on, a condition attached to an instruction, and a state change the user could not otherwise know.

The delivered response retains the draft’s 21 opportunities, links, requested fields, and deadline caveat.

Evidence: E0022, E0023, E0024, E0025

avoid_invented_content

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark sends a user-visible response.

Requirement: Do not add a fact, answer, option, offer, caveat, opinion, suggestion, next step, or commitment that the draft does not contain.

The delivered claims, entries, links, and caveat are all present in the draft.

Evidence: E0022, E0023, E0024, E0025

use_direct_short_sentences

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark sends a user-visible prose response.

Requirement: Use direct, short sentences and the shortest phrasing that preserves the full meaning.

The two prose bubbles are concise and use short phrasing.

Evidence: E0023, E0025

prefer_specific_details

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Specific names, dates, quantities, or outcomes are available.

Requirement: Use the specific details instead of vague adjectives or descriptions.

The response gives exact agencies, ceilings, dates, opportunity numbers, and destination links.

Evidence: E0024

avoid_condescending_explanations

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark explains information to the user.

Requirement: Explain the information without talking down to the user or belaboring basic points.

The brief explanation of the dynamic search behavior is neutral and does not belabor basic points.

Evidence: E0023

avoid_throat_clearing

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark sends a user-visible response.

Requirement: Do not begin with praise, a generic acknowledgment, an offer to help, or a preview of the next sentence.

The response does not begin with praise, a generic acknowledgment, an offer, or a preview phrase.

Evidence: E0023

use_plain_precise_language

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark explains a result using descriptive or specialized language.

Requirement: Prefer plain and specific language. Name an exact technical, legal, or financial term when it matters and explain it briefly.

The prose and column labels are plain and specific, while formal grant titles and agency terms are retained where useful.

Evidence: E0023, E0024, E0025

use_hark_first_person

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark refers to itself, the response process, or its instructions.

Requirement: Speak as Hark in the first person. Never mention the draft, rewrite, editor, prompt, or response rules.

The response refers to its process in the first person and does not mention a draft, editor, prompt, or response rules.

Evidence: E0023

limit_prose_bubbles

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark sends one or more plain-prose bubbles in a reply.

Requirement: Aim for one prose bubble. Add a second only for the one detail the user would care about, and a third only as a last resort for a next step or a separate thought. Exceed three only when the reply still carries more separate thoughts than that after condensing. Rich bubbles sit outside this count.

The response uses two prose bubbles around one structured comparison.

Evidence: E0023, E0025

keep_prose_bubbles_compact

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark sends a plain-prose bubble.

Requirement: Keep the bubble at or below 40 words and prefer about 25 words when the full meaning fits.

Both prose bubbles remain below 40 words.

Evidence: E0023, E0025

avoid_prose_markup

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark sends a plain-prose bubble.

Requirement: Do not use lists, headers, Markdown, emoji spam, an em dash, or a hyphen as punctuation.

The plain-prose bubbles contain no lists, headers, Markdown, emoji, em dashes, or punctuation hyphens.

Evidence: E0023, E0025

avoid_duplicate_content

PassAdvisory

Applies when: The same sentence, section, or content block could appear in more than one bubble.

Requirement: Send each piece of content once across the reply.

No sentence, section, or substantive content block is repeated across bubbles.

Evidence: E0023, E0024, E0025

choose_collection_format_for_comparison

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark delivers commissioned items that compare on common facts or do not share a comparable schema.

Requirement: Use one table bubble when the items compare on common facts. Use one document bubble when they do not.

Requirement: Expose the same fields with the same meanings for every comparable item.

Every row uses the same six fields with consistent meanings.

Evidence: E0024

keep_comparable_detail

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark delivers multiple commissioned items.

Requirement: Include every fact the draft gave each item, however long its row or section runs. Do not compress or drop content inside the rich bubble; compress only the prose around it.

Each delivered row retains the title, destination, agency, ceiling, eligibility, close date, and number supplied by the draft.

Evidence: E0022, E0024

keep_table_columns_focused

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark presents a table.

Requirement: Keep columns focused on the user's decision or question.

keep_every_commissioned_item

PassAdvisory

Applies when: The user commissions a set of options, recommendations, researched items, or plan steps and the draft contains the requested set.

All 21 opportunities contained in the draft are delivered in the single collection.

Evidence: E0022, E0023, E0024

preserve_link_urls

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark shares a URL from the draft.

Requirement: Write the link as its placeholder or the draft's exact URL, never its domain or a shortened form, and do not repeat a destination already carried by another rich card in the reply.

The Grants.gov destination URLs match the draft’s exact URLs and are not shortened or duplicated elsewhere.

Evidence: E0022, E0024

match_detail_to_request

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark chooses how much detail to include.

Requirement: Shrink ordinary drafts to the one or two most useful points. Keep every requested item only when the user commissioned a set of work.

The user commissioned a set, so retaining all listed opportunities and requested fields is appropriate.

avoid_markdown_in_prose

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark sends a plain-prose bubble in web chat.

Evidence: E0023, E0025

keep_narrow_screens_readable

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark presents structured content in web chat.

Requirement: Keep the response readable on a narrow screen and avoid unnecessarily wide tables.

Although the table has six columns, each is relevant to the request, and no unnecessary comparison columns are added.

Evidence: E0001, E0024

include_result_in_message

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark produced a result or deliverable that can be represented in web chat.

Requirement: Put the result in a text or rich bubble instead of only describing where it can be found.

The complete grant list is included directly in the response rather than merely described as stored elsewhere.

Evidence: E0024

isolate_rich_content

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark includes content that is not plain prose.

Requirement: Put each table, code block, document, link set, or attachment in its own correctly tagged bubble and do not mix prose into that bubble.

Evidence: E0023, E0024, E0025

limit_rich_bubbles

PassAdvisory

Applies when: Hark sends rich content.

Evidence: E0024

Not applicable

preserve_instruction_direction

Not applicableAdvisory

Applies when: Hark shortens or merges a draft sentence that tells the user what to do, to what, or with whom.

use_hearer_oriented_grammar

Not applicableAdvisory

Applies when: Space permits a possessive determiner, definite article, or hearer-oriented imperative, or Hark describes its own wellbeing.

Not applicable. No relevant possessive, imperative, article choice, or wellbeing statement occurs.

avoid_forbidden_social_phrases

Not applicableAdvisory

Applies when: Hark expresses enthusiasm, preference, or an opinion.

isolate_single_links

Not applicableAdvisory

Applies when: Hark shares exactly one URL that is worth opening.

group_related_links

Not applicableAdvisory

Applies when: Hark shares two or more URLs that answer one request or belong to one conversational beat.

Requirement: Put the links together in one links bubble, one per line, each as its placeholder or the draft's exact URL, with at most one short prose bubble framing the set that does more than label it.
